As on Amazon: Since 1926, Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends—Piglet, Owl, Tigger, Kanga, Roo, and the ever doleful Eeyore—have endured as the unforgettable creations of A. A. Milne, who wrote two books of Pooh’s adventures for his son, Christopher Robin, and Ernest H. Shepard, who lovingly gave them shape through his iconic and beautiful illustrations. These characters and their stories are timeless treasures of childhood that continue to speak to all of us with the kind of freshness and heart that distinguishes true storytelling. This deluxe volume brings both Pooh stories—Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner—together in one beautiful, full-color edition. The texts are complete and unabridged, and all of the illustrations, each gloriously recolored, are included. Elegant yet simple, whimsical yet wise, this classic edition is a book to savor and treasure. MY REVIEW: I fell in love with Christopher Robin in 9th grade as I sang the words,
“Little boy kneels at the foot of the bed,
Droops on his little hands, little gold head.
Hush, hush, whisper who dare,
Christopher Robin is saying his prayers! ...”
I sing them whenever I can. I remember the excitement when Santa left the plush toys Winnie-the-Pooh and Tigger along with their books. Their adventures delighted our little ones and they too loved Piglet, Owl, Tigger, Kanga, Roo, and Eeyore. A college course in personalities is given when you are introduced to these fun-filled characters. Without a doubt, the world would be a better place if all families read the adventures of Winnie the Pooh.
